Pakistanis are in a habit of executing circumspect people with needles after the US helped assassinate Bin Laden through a needle / vaccination campaign. They are highly distrustful in particular of people offering vaccines since it is a trojan horse rather than an act of charity.

> They are highly distrustful in particular of people offering vaccines

FTA

> Our investigation suggests that unsafe practices are in part driven by systemic pressures including a reliance on, and cultural preference for, injections as treatment.

> Pakistan has one of the highest rates of therapeutic injections in the world, many of them medically unnecessary. Members of the general public ask for them, including for their children, and doctors happily oblige, says Mir.

Stop making shit up

Not made up. Although I would understand why people might think it's crazy enough that it would be.

corndoge•10m ago
Vax program is common knowledge, literally everyone knows about that, and it was an intelligence program not an execution campaign. Your conclusion is made up
mothballed•5m ago
You're arguing against a straw man then. I didn't claim the "intelligence program" was an execution campaign against anyone but Bin Laden. The conclusion that it was a trojan horse, I think quite factual.

Or maybe better education?

> When we showed Buzdar our undercover footage, he insisted it had been filmed before his tenure or that it had been staged. When asked what he would say to local parents watching this footage, he said: "I can say to them with certainty, with confidence, that you should get your treatment done at THQ Taunsa."

Not gonna fix this with education if they won't admit to having a problem in the first place.

plutomeetsyou•8m ago
or the lack of education is the cause of such denial of science.

Are you claiming that Pakistani nurses and doctors are not educated on the dangers of needle reuse?
dwa3592•16m ago
I was in middle school when we were taught that used syringes were one of the causes of HIV. Can't believe a hospital would do this!!!
satya71•14m ago
This is common practice in much of developed world. Long ago, they used to have re-usable glass syringes that could be sterilized. Unfortunately, people switched to disposable syringes. The unit costs are...high in the US, unreasonable in developing countries.

It's not just this hospital, it's widespread ([1] report 38%)

Do you know why they couldn't switch back to glass syringes?
faangguyindia•6m ago
If you forget to autoclave them or not done properly you end up with infected patients, risk is just too much

1. They're talking about the current situation, but you're bringing up history. 2. Given the lessons from the past, why would you still want to do something this dangerous?

Does anyone have alternative archival sites? I want to switch away from archive.today because of the uncivil behavior [1] but can't find any other archival sites that can unpaywall websites.
